That is a huge turkey. You'll have to thaw it in the sink because it won't be thaw tomorrow if you leave it in the fridge. Make sure you cook it to an internal temp of about 155 fahrenheit then let it rest on your counter - it will cook more as it sits and should reach 165 degrees which will kill off any bacteria that may grow when it sits out to thaw.

Yes there should be thawing instructions on your bird. Mine is a Butterball - and has in the fridge and in the sink full of water instructions.
Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving

Yes, it will be fine if you leave it in the sink over night. If it is frozen solid, it is not going to go bad, believe me!...and not to mention the fact that it is a 22lb turkey!

I always thaw mine in the sink in ice water, left in the package. Mine is 20lb and I started it this morning. Should be fine.

You may have a problem with bacterial growth.
